-### 2.3.1.0
+### 2.3.2.0 - 2026-09-12
 
+* Remove unsound rewrite rule on `FromJSONKey` (`fmap coerce = coerce`)
+* Fix `listParser` to include list indices in error traces
+
+### 2.3.1.0 - 2026-07-05
+
 * Add `FromJSONKey` instance for `Data.Fixed`.
 * Add `ToJSON` and `FromJSON` instances for `Data.Complex`.
 * Export `isEmptyArray` from `Data.Aeson.Types` module.

 ### 2.3.0.0 - 2026-05-21
 
-* Fix parsing of fractional numbers to reject exponents smaller than -1024.
-  This breaking change affects `FromJSON` instances of `Fixed`, `DiffTime`, and `NominalDiffTime`,
-  rejecting more inputs. Error messages for `Ratio` and integral types are also slightly different
-  due to reusing the same bounding logic.
+* Fix DoS vulnerabilities caused by parsing large numbers (advisory [HSEC-2026-0007](https://haskell.github.io/security-advisories/advisory/HSEC-2026-0007.html)). Backported to 2.2.5.1, see below.
 * Fix typo in error message: "~~Unespected~~ Unexpected control character while parsing string literal".
 * Support nothunks 0.3.
 * Unset executable permissions in some test files and remove a broken symlink.
 * In `text-iso8601-0.2.0.0`:
-    - Reject years of more than 15 digits.
     - Accept 24:00:00 time of day.
